Another well documented video, I enjoyed that. To me, given the lack of smoke form the chimney, and the safety valve letting out the pressure, the 47 on the back was doing most of the work, other than around 8:45 when she's working hard...Part of the fun of seeing these old gal's is watching them work hard and fill the air with smoke, not being pushed around by a diesel on the rear. I know its all to do with the fire risk, but it does take away some of the experience.
Thanks Malcolm. I'm glad you enjoyed it. BIL was certainly doing what she could up the grade at Upwey. Everywhere else was either due to them wanting to make up time or being on the tail of stopping services.
Great video Thomas! I was going to see her 3 times but due to her delay I only managed to see her at Victoria and West Byfleet, but that's still better than nothing

Thanks Charles. The delay certainly caused havoc on our outward chase, but good on them to make up the time. Thomas
Great video.Caught her at Whitchurch.
Thanks Michael. Thomas
Haha i didnt even bother going to Upwey as i assumed itd be shoved up by the duff. Maybe starting to regret that now. Great set of videos!
Thanks Luke. I think the 47 did no more than take its own weight. Clearly the rain the day before had made an impact on the fire risk. Thomas
Brilliant shots Thomas. (Especially the Upwey bank footage) 😁 35018 has come South in 2019, 2021 & now 2023... Is 2025 now on the cards?
Cheers Callum. We can certainly hope. Thomas
I was on this charter, and the 47 was very rarely used.
Seemed like a good trip from the lineside. Glad you enjoyed it Nick. Thomas
